1989 corvette frisbee

[Lyndon S.]

Has anyone had a frisbee on the front of the engine make a noise? My L 98 makes a nose that I thought was the injectors. It comes from the front of the engine the sound one tech said to him it sounded like a pulley. I am just thinking it might be that big disk, aka the frisbee.

If you're talking about the tensioner, then, yes. It's a squeaking/clicking noise. Take it off, clean the dirt, grit and grease off of it, and reinstall. I did this on mine about 7 years ago (maybe 15,000 miles) and it's been quiet ever since.
